The Cry of Passion

a poem by Samrajni Ganguly

When the way gets the toughest,
Let me confront adversity with ease;
Show me a reason to pave my way through-
Before my pounding heart does cease…

When the night gets the darkest,
Show me the light I need;
Don’t let this darkness shroud my mind
Oh God! I despondently plead…

When the mountain gets the steepest,
Let me rise above it all;
What ever be the cost for it-
Take me to the top before I fall…

When the tide seems the highest,
Let me swim it through;
Let me sink to the depth of it-
Or let me float like the lucky few…

When the sea seems the deepest,
Keep me afloat I pray;
Let me live my life before I die-
Whatever may come on my way…

When my heart feels the lowest,
Give me the courage to smile;
Being gay in sorrow is tough I know-
But let me endure pain just for a while…
